Chapter 460

Confidence, no matter the circumstances, is a beautiful quality and a beneficial state of mind.For the current Eindhoven, the players' confidence is almost bursting.

On April 4, Eindhoven challenged Twente away.

This game also became Bai Xiaotian's "comeback match" after being injured for more than a month.

Seeing the goodbye boy standing on the kick-off line in the middle circle, everyone in Eindhoven felt endless energy!
On the opposite side, Twente retreated before fighting, and collectively fell short.

How to play this?
Damn it!Do your best to keep it!

PSV Eindhoven, who had already stepped into the Champions League final with one foot, pressed strongly after the start and immediately took over the game.

In the 13th minute of the game, Van Persie forcibly went to the bottom from the left. After attracting more players to let go, he made an inverted triangle pass back to the center.

Bai Xiaotian, who was leaning on the opponent's defender, didn't run up, and slapped the ball with his left foot.

The ball arced in the air, bypassed Twente's centre-back, then circled around the outside of the post, and finally flew into the net.

1 is better than 0!

Bai Xiaotian raised his index finger, ran to the sidelines and took a spacewalk.

After scoring the goal, the joy is still there, but Bai Xiaotian has learned how to control his emotions.

Leading by one goal not only means that Eindhoven has taken the lead away from home, but also represents that Eindhoven's "efficiency football" is on the right track.

The wing went down to the bottom, and an inverted triangle cross was made.As long as the person receiving the ball is within two meters of the front of the opponent's penalty area, he must shoot within two seconds after receiving the ball.

If the adjustment has not been made within two seconds, either give it to the teammate who is running with him and let him shoot, or the whole team will retreat and repeat the above steps.

The disadvantages of playing like this are obvious, the offensive method is monotonous, and it is easy to be cracked by the opponent.

The situation on the football field is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee what will happen in the next second.If the attack method is single, once restricted by the opponent, it is almost impossible to make any attack.

But this style of play is very suitable for Eindhoven now.

Both Robben and Van Persie can do their best in wing breakthroughs.Van Bommel, who passed the ball to them, gradually grew into a world-class midfielder.

The most important thing is that after the winger breaks through and makes a pass, there will always be a player who will step in and kick the ball out to form a goal.

Moreover, Bai Xiaotian, who completed the last critical step, shot almost every ball within the range of the goal frame.

In this way, PSV Eindhoven used the number of shots to fight the uncertainty of football.Carry out a principle from the beginning to the end - shoot more, enter more!

Before Bai Xiaotian scored, he already had three kicks.

The shot inside the fourth goal frame was successful, although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable.

When Eindhoven's offensive machine started to work, Twente immediately became a fat pig tied on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

After Bai Xiaotian scored a goal, he also gradually leaned towards the side, leaving the last chance of shooting to his teammates.

For a while, Robben and Van Persie's cross-running in the middle made Twente's defense overwhelmed.

After rounds of bombing, Eindhoven beat Twente 4-0 in the away game.

Bai Xiaotian scored one goal, Van Persie scored two goals, and Robben scored one goal.

If Eindhoven wins again in the final match a few days later, this season's Eredivisie champion will also be in the bag.

On May 5, PSV Eindhoven will face Barcelona from afar in Philips.

As Van Bommel was unable to play due to the accumulation of yellow cards in this game, the captain of Eindhoven put the captain's armband on Bai Xiaotian's shoulders before the players went on the field.

"Bai, how do you feel? Is it tight?" At this time, Van Bommel looked like a good man at home, carefully helping Bai Xiaotian to check his shoulders.

"It's not tight! It feels just right, Captain." Bai Xiaotian turned his arms around, but he didn't feel that the blood was blocked.

Looking at the energetic Bai Xiaotian in front of him, Van Bommel said in a strange way: "Since it's just right, let's wear it all the time."

Bai Xiaotian was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head. "Captain, you are the captain of Eindhoven, and you are also my captain."

"Huh! I knew it! Well, I understand!" Van Bommel sighed, and patted Bai Xiaotian's shoulder, "Come on! You will be promoted in this tie! You must preserve your strength and don't get injured, understand?"

"OK!" Bai Xiaotian grinned and replied loudly.

Hearing this, Van Bommel nodded in satisfaction, pushed Bai Xiaotian, and pushed him onto the court.

The Eindhoven captain has already negotiated with the club and signed a contract for another two years.

Bai Xiaotian could leave, but Van Bommel could not.

Bai Xiaotian's departure may greatly reduce Eindhoven's strength, and may change the existing tactics, but this can all be made up for.

If Van Bommel leaves, PSV will really fall apart.What the club considers is not how to change the style of play and improve the team's offensive power, but how to re-form a new Eindhoven team.

No matter how important Bai Xiaotian is to Eindhoven, a striker will never be able to become the core figure of the team.

And the core "component" of a team is usually not the one who scores the most goals.

On the Philips Stadium, Barcelona fans tried their best to cheer for the visiting team.I hope to use my shouts to create a home atmosphere and help Barcelona tide over the difficulties.

But in the face of Eindhoven, which "preserves its strength", Barcelona still failed to please.

In the 305th minute of the game No. [-], Bai Xiaotian, who stepped back to Van Bommel's position, sent a penetrating through ball just past the center line.

With unrivaled speed, Robben once again broke out from Barcelona's defense and entered the Barcelona penalty area from the left.

Although Van Persie and Huntelaar moved in time to keep up, Peter Pan did not follow the team's tactics and returned the ball to the middle.

After smearing De Boer again and forced a bottom wave, Robben suddenly swung his leg and shot.

Reina only had time to extend his right hand, and the ball flew into the goal from above his head.

1 is better than 0!

Robben took advantage of the winger's only few opportunities to "allow to show his personal ability" to help Eindhoven take the lead.

In this way, the gap between the two teams has been pulled to 2 goals.

For Barcelona, ​​at least three goals must be scored in this game before they have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

But just as Barcelona organized their formation again to launch an attack, PSV Eindhoven's right winger van Persie also showed off his footwork.

After two consecutive false shots in the Barcelona penalty area, he shook away three defenders and pushed the lower left corner of the goal successfully.

The game lasted for an hour, and PSV led 2-0 at home. The players on the field looked extremely relaxed, and there was no pressure against the La Liga giants at all.

Dismal gloom hovers over the heads of every Barcelona fan, and they can only pray silently in their hearts that before the end of the game, the team will have a hero like a goodbye boy to help the team score three goals to save the game.

But prayers are common, heroes are not.

In the final minutes of the game, although Kluivert scored a goal.But this goal is of no use other than helping Barcelona save face.

In the end, Barcelona lost 1-2 away.With a total score of 3 to 5, the semi-finals of the Champions League were lost.

After the game, all PSV players lined up on the sidelines and bowed to the fans.

While thanking the fans together, everyone announced loudly: two weeks later, they will bring back the second Champions League trophy in history for PSV at the Hampton Park Stadium in Scotland!

That night, the mushroom-headed Bai Xiaotian was waiting on the bed to take a shower, and received a call from England.

".Bai, congratulations on reaching the final. I believe that with your strength, it will be easy to help Eindhoven win the championship."

"Thank you Rude, I will help you win what you lost!"

Fanny was grinning on the other end of the phone, but nothing came out after all.

He made this call to congratulate Bai Xiaotian and at the same time apologize.I wanted to take Manchester United to a showdown with PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League final, but it was myself who broke the appointment first.

In the semi-finals of the Champions League, Manchester United drew with Bayer Leverkusen at home and away.But unfortunately, they played 2-2 at home, but only played 1-1 at others.

In the end, the Bundesliga powerhouse Bayer Leverkusen eliminated the Red Devils Manchester United by virtue of the advantage of away goals, and joined forces with Eindhoven in the Champions League final.

Although such a result was somewhat unexpected, to Bai Xiaotian and Eindhoven, it was just an unfamiliar opponent.
